Vaughn is my pen name, and Sonya Bateman is my real name. :-) I switched some of my S.W. Vaughn work over to my real name to improve branding, so that all of my urban fantasy / paranormal non-romance is under one name, and the paranormal romances remain under the S.W. Vaughn name.

It was mostly an attempt to avoid confusion, though I did create some confusion with the changes themselves... :-)(less)

Old dinosaur, new tricks

I write a lot of articles about technology (not technical articles) for my Super Seekrit Day Job. One thing I know by heart is cell phone statistics. 91% of American adults are cell phone owners.

Until today, I was one of the remaining 9 percent.

Yes, I just got my first cell phone. I haven't been avoiding them out of some weird hipster non-conformist urge -- I just never had a use for one. But afte Read more of this blog post »

“Want some help with help with that stick in your ass, love?"
"No. It's quite comfortable, thank you."
"It should be. It's been in there for years." Nix winked at Will. "I hope you'll forgive my wife. She's a bit antisocial."
"And water's a bit wet.”
S.W. Vaughn, Skin Deep

“ 'Venti caramel macchiato, please,' he said. 'Hold the snobbery.'

The barista laughed and hit buttons on his register. 'You sure? We're having a sale on social mobility. The longer your coffee order takes to place, the more you have to pay.'

'Perfect. Reverse consumerism.' ”
S.W. Vaughn, Skin Deep

“Now the son of a bitch was saying it was a fluke. Cloud nine to complete shit in ten seconds. The guy wasn't just an emotional roller coaster; he was a whole damned amusement park.”

Jessie, oh my gosh! How did I never get this message?! It was over a year ago! I am so sorry I never replied...

I'm thrilled that you liked the book! It was supposed to be a series but oh, boy, did it ever flop. I think I sold like maybe 20 copies. I'm currently working toward getting the rights back so I can self-publish it and maybe continue the series. :-)

Meanwhile, desperately trying to finish Alpha Male ASAP (still... gah, this book! It's going to kill me before I finish it, I swear).

I hope you're doing great, and again, I am SO sorry! I swear I wasn't ignoring you!!

Best,
Sonya
